Digging the Division Day downloads

03:02 PM PT, Sep 20 2007

DivisiondayDivision Day, the L.A. indie-rock quartet whose album "Beartrap Island" is being re-released (on iTunes today, and in stores on Oct. 2), is offering a free remix or cover song every Tuesday for eight weeks. It's nice of them, considering what they've been through with this album; after the foursome self-released it last year, they was signed to a start-up label that planned to issue "Beartrap" last spring. But the start-up label never quite started up.

Enter L.A. imprint Eenie Meenie, home to Great Northern, Irving and Goldenboy, among others. The label has signed Division Day, and now the remastered album -- with two new tracks -- is on the way.

||| Download the band's cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence." Then: the Tandemoro remix of the album track "Ricky." And then: the band's cover of Sunny Day Real Estate's "Every Shining Time You Arrive."

||| See Division Day perform at the Echo on Oct. 2.

Touts for Thursday, Sept. 20

Imagine Dylan having to fight his way out of an Irish bar: That's Ike Reilly's music. The Chicago-area troubadour hits town with his band the Ike Reilly Assassination for a gig at Spaceland tonight behind its new release, "We Belong to the Staggering Evening." Reilly played solo earlier this summer as support for Tom Morello on the latter's Nightwatchman tour. Recommended if you like barroom poets.

||| Download: "When Irish Eyes Are Burning."

Also: This little gig at the Hollywood Bowl tonight is apparently the show of the year.

And also: The New Pornographers, with Lavender Diamond opening, play the Fonda Theatre, and it's not sold out. ... The Airborne Toxic Event joins Maxeen for a show at Costa Mesa's Detroit Bar. ... Film School has a free show at Amoeba at 7. ... And Hello Stranger greets the crowd at Filter's Revenge of the Sunset Strip night at the Roxy.

Kevin Bronson
Kevin Bronson has covered emerging and indie music since 2002 in his weekly Buzz Bands column in the Calendar Weekend section of the L.A. Times. He adores caffeine, judicious use of falsetto and the 6-4-3 double play. He abhors exclamation points, modern country and any notion that New York City is the center of the cultural universe. He's older than any music blogger he knows but has been known to pogo. He'll try not to pretend.

Bronson's Buzz Bands show can be heard Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Pacific time on the Internet radio station LittleRadio.com.
